In My Life in 30 Seconds, Linda Kaplan Thaler pulls back the curtain on forty years of creating advertising magic: writing a song with Stevie Wonder, interviewing Warren Buffett over a Cherry Coke, and getting millions of women to moan "Yes!

It introduces Truth Latency, t...

You picked up this book because you want income you own, not hours you rent, and every business you researched asked for $10,000 before the first customer.

The camera changes everything about selling, and almost nobody teaches the craft correctly. They teach the buttons, the software, and the lighting, but they never teach the thing that actually matters: that the human being on the other side of the screen h...
